TV, radio and film

Are you a budding TV presenter, voiceover artist or on-screen actor? We have a huge range of short TV film, radio and sound courses taking place in the daytimes, evenings and at weekends. Our teachers are experts in their fields, and often practising actors or presenters who will be teaching you in modern studios in the centre of London.
